Alejandra is fantastic! Extremely knowledgeable, kind, and warm. She was the perfect person to guide my husband and I during such an important and intimate chapter of our lives. Bilingual and didnt skip a beat. She knew the hospital, our OB, and got along great with the nurses - she was the perfect liaison for when we needed one. It was important for me to have someone of the Catholic faith guide me during such a life chaning moment and she was exactly what I was looking for. After interviewing over 15 Doulas, I knew Alejandra was the one the minute we finished our initial consultation. She exceeded our expectations and overdelivered. I most certainly will be using her services again for our next baby!

Alejandra is an incredible doula that we feel so lucky to have had during our journey for the home birth of our second son. She is warm, kind, thoughtful, and extremely knowledgeable. Our prenatal visits never felt rushed, and we always learned so many new and interesting things from her, even though this was our second time around. She is a fantastic educator about birth, both in a home and hospital setting. She checked in on me throughout the pregnancy, always genuinely offering to support in any way she could.
When labor started, communication was great between us. She showed up exactly when I needed her, and her presence was immediately calming and reassuring. She seemed to know exactly what I needed both in terms of verbal affirmations and physical assistance (massage, water) without me having to speak a word. She also worked beautifully as a team with our midwife.
After the birth, she was so attentive to my needs and the dynamics that unfold in those first few hours. I’m sure I’m only aware of a fraction of the things she did- from taking videos of our children meeting for the first time, to spoon feeding me soup, to helping tidy up, assisting the midwives, and taking notes of everything to send me later. She even brought homemade postpartum herbal tea!
Her presence was truly a blessing, and we will be forever grateful. I cannot recommend Alejandra enough to anyone looking for a doula to support their birth journey. She gives her whole heart to her clients.

Alejandra was such a critical part of my birth experience, I truly couldn’t have done it without her unwavering guidance, calm presence, and constant encouragement. From pregnancy through labor, she made me feel informed, supported, and confident every step of the way.
During labor, she knew exactly how to help me through each stage, advocating for me while helping me stay grounded and focused. Her reassurance gave me the confidence to trust my body and make decisions I felt good about. She was also an incredible support to my husband, helping him feel involved and prepared throughout the experience.
Having Alejandra by our side made all the difference, and I will always be grateful for the care, compassion, and expertise she brought to one of the most important days of our lives. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula who is deeply knowledgeable, genuinely caring, and an unwavering source of support.

I barely have the words to describe how important and meaningful Alejandra’s presence was on my births, but I will try.
Ever since I’ve known her, for over 10 years now, Alejandra has had a passion for birth and postpartum and for supporting women during this most intense and tender time. So when it came time for me to have my baby, there was no doubt she was going to be there. Over the next few years after that, I witnessed her step deeper into her calling, serving many mothers in their matrescense journey. When I got pregnant with my second, she held me during a rough HG pregnancy, was there during those difficult last few weeks and then was my rock during my labor and birth. When I was deep in the throes of labor, I didn’t see my young doula or even my friend anymore- her presence felt like that of a grandmother, of a wise birth keeper and I’m still in awe. She knew what to do and how to support me even when I didn’t have the words, when I didn’t have the strength and she always brought me back to prayer, back to Jesus.
I’m forever grateful for her and I couldn’t have done it without her reassurance, knowledge and confidence. 🩷 I can’t wait to see her for
my postpartum visit! Couldn’t recommend her enough.

Aleja is a warm, kind, informative Doula who helped guide our pre-natal, birth, and postpartum experiences!! She went above and beyond to share knowledge and emotional support throughout. We are grateful to have her as part of our village.

Alejandra made our experience truly special. She was there for my wife and I every step of the way, and navigating both the emotional and logistical parts of labor a lot less stressful for both of us. I cannot recommend her enough!
— Carlos Hiller
Alejandra was amazing and such an essential part of me getting to know this beautiful extraordinary process that is bringing life to this earth through my body. Thank you so much for making me understand the beauty of birth. In a world full of fears and doubts. This is the most natural human process God designed us women to go through. Thanks again for being so attentive during the prenatal process and postnatal as well.

I have had the pleasure of working in partnership with Alejandra several times and I can say she is one of the best doulas I know! She is kind, caring, professional and very knowledgeable! Her dedication and passion for birth work is really inspiring! Any mom would be lucky to have her by her side

Alejandra was our birth and postpartum doula for the birth of my first son. She was so wonderful throughout the entire process, and I highly recommend her services. As part of our birth support package, we had several in person meetings at our home and communicated regularly via text and phone call. She is obviously very educated in her field, very detail oriented and open minded. She explained complex topics easily and helped leave space for any preference of my own while also educating me on certain positives and negatives of the multifaceted birth decision making process. She is calm, patient, and empathetic. She has a wonderful read of energy and people and was available to answer any and all of my questions while also providing further resources and outside references or recommendations. As a postpartum doula caring for our son, she was incredible. She provided calm consistent care and support for him for about 6 weeks post birth daily from 11-5pm and then again around 6months old. She is wondering with newborns - reading cues and educating moms on how to better understand their baby’s needs. She helped keep me hydrated, reminded me to nourish and re-fuel myself, and helped me navigate challenging postpartum emotions. She assisted in coaching baby wearing and helped educate me on how to better soothe and help my baby to sleep. I truly believe our baby is so happy and well-regulated because of her support! I cannot recommend her services enough. She is a lovely person who genuinely loves what she does and cares deeply for all the moms and babies she supports. She would be an asset to any family seeking support.

I feel beyond blessed to have had Alejandra as my birth doula. Her knowledge, genuine care, and support were invaluable to my daughter's birth and my postpartum journey. I am forever grateful.

Highly Recommend - An Essential Part of Our Birth Journey
We cannot recommend Aleja enough! From the very beginning, she took the time to truly get to know us and understand exactly what kind of birth my wife envisioned.
When we were faced with a cholestasis diagnosis, it was a difficult and stressful situation to navigate. Aleja was incredible—she provided us with podcasts and evidence-based articles that helped us feel informed and empowered. Because of her guidance, we were able to safely advocate to extend the induction from 37 to 39 weeks, which made a huge difference for us.
The induction itself was a success. While inductions are never easy, Aleja was there every step of the way, helping us advocate for the birth experience we wanted. She was always listening, supportive, and hands-on—from providing comfort through massages to helping us communicate effectively with the medical staff. (A special shout-out to Isa and Zoey at Mt. Sinai—we love you too!)
Aleja was truly the best investment we made throughout this entire process. We are so grateful for her presence.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Aleja! We love you!
¡No podemos recomendar a Aleja lo suficiente! Desde el principio, se tomó el tiempo para conocernos realmente y entender exactamente qué tipo de parto deseaba mi esposa.
Cuando nos enfrentamos a un diagnóstico de colestasis, fue una situación difícil y estresante de manejar. Aleja fue increíble: nos proporcionó podcasts y artículos basados en evidencia que nos ayudaron a sentirnos informados y empoderados. Gracias a su guía, pudimos abogar de manera segura para extender la inducción de la semana 37 a la 39, lo cual marcó una gran diferencia para nosotros.
La inducción en sí fue un éxito. Aunque las inducciones nunca son fáciles, Aleja estuvo allí en cada paso del camino, ayudándonos a defender la experiencia de parto que queríamos. Siempre estuvo escuchando, brindando apoyo y ayuda práctica, desde masajes reconfortantes hasta ayudarnos a comunicarnos eficazmente con el personal médico. (Una mención especial para Isa y Zoey en Mt. Sinai, ¡también las queremos mucho!)
Aleja fue, sin duda, la mejor inversión que hicimos en todo este proceso. Estamos muy agradecidos por su presencia. ¡Gracias, gracias, gracias, Aleja! ¡Te queremos!

Alejandra was an angel sent to us. I was so nervous about the post partum period. Alejandra made the experience calm and less intimidating. She cared for our baby as if she was family so we could recuperate. She also made me homemade post partum teas and sitz bath. She offered both emotional and practical support. She is trained in both evidence based care and indigenous care which I think offers the best of all worlds. Her calming energy made us feel so comfortable in our baby bubble and calmed our beutiful baby. I would 1000% recommend.

Alejandra worked with us as a postpartum doula since our son was a newborn. From the start, she brought a sense of calm and confidence into our home. She patiently guided me through the challenges of breastfeeding and helped set me and baby up for success .
Alejandra helped us develop good foundation and routine for our baby’s sleep and now our baby has been able to sleep through the night. She offered tips to soothe baby, manage gas and incorporate bottle feedings which allowed me time to rest during the night.
On top of all this, Alejandra’s meal preparation was a lifesaver. She prepared delicious, nourishing meals that fueled my recovery and gave me more time to bond with my little one.If you’re considering postpartum doula care, I highly recommend this service.
